As a mom, we want to make sure that everything our kids need is always at hand. Whether at home or if we are somewhere else, we want to make it a point that whatever it is that they might need is always there especially when we’re travelling. Me and my youngest son Joaqui is travelling from Laguna to Manila every Thursday morning. My son is a special child, which has a condition of Global Developmental Delay Syndrome.
He’s undergoing a series of Occupational Therapy at UP Manila. We’re riding a jeepney from our Baranggay which is 30min. away from the bus terminal located at the town proper. Then we’ll ride a bus going to Lawton, head up at Padre Faura in between the Philippine General Hospital and the Supreme Court. It’s a 1 hour and thirty minutes ride depending on the traffic condition. During the heavy traffic, travel time lasts up to 2 hours or more.
Before I leave the house, I always make sure that everything else that my son needs is in the bag already. From the feeding bottles, milk dispenser, diaper, wet wipes, towels, extra clothes, baby powder, alcohol, hand sanitizer, mosquito repellant, up to the stuffs that we might need due to sudden change of weather like umbrella, jacket and a fan, all of those are in my bag, packed properly and organized so that it is easy for me to get whatever it is that I need in no hassle. I also bring snacks and a bottle of water because kids usually want to eat something when they are in a vehicle especially for a long period of time.

It is best that we prepare the stuffs the night before the scheduled day so that we won’t run of time and make sure that we won’t forget even a single thing so we’ll travel safely and harmoniously.
